  2. Flow (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_(mathematics)

    Ergodic dynamical systems, that is, systems exhibiting randomness, exhibit flows as well. The most celebrated of these is perhaps the Bernoulli flow . The Ornstein isomorphism theorem states that, for any given entropy H , there exists a flow φ ( x , t ) , called the Bernoulli flow, such that the flow at time t = 1 , i.e. φ ( x , 1) , is a ...

    Is zero-referenced against a perfect vacuum, using an absolute scale, so it is equal to gauge pressure plus atmospheric pressure. absolute scale Any system of measurement that begins at a minimum, or zero point, and progresses in only one direction. The zero point of an absolute scale is a natural minimum, leaving only one direction in which to ...

  4. Bernoulli's principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernoulli's_principle

    The above equations suggest there is a flow speed at which pressure is zero, and at even higher speeds the pressure is negative. Most often, gases and liquids are not capable of negative absolute pressure, or even zero pressure, so clearly Bernoulli's equation ceases to be valid before zero pressure is reached.

  5. Dynamic pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_pressure

    Dynamic pressure is one of the terms of Bernoulli's equation, which can be derived from the conservation of energy for a fluid in motion. [1] At a stagnation point the dynamic pressure is equal to the difference between the stagnation pressure and the static pressure, so the dynamic pressure in a flow field can be measured at a stagnation point ...

    A synonym for a function between sets or a morphism in a category. Depending on authors, the term "maps" or the term "functions" may be reserved for specific kinds of functions or morphisms (e.g., function as an analytic term and map as a general term). mathematics See mathematics. multivalued

  7. Measure-preserving dynamical system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Measure-preserving...

    The definition of a measure-preserving dynamical system can be generalized to the case in which T is not a single transformation that is iterated to give the dynamics of the system, but instead is a monoid (or even a group, in which case we have the action of a group upon the given probability space) of transformations T s : X → X ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stream_function

    The point is a reference point that defines where the stream function is identically zero. Its position is chosen more or less arbitrarily and, once chosen, typically remains fixed. Its position is chosen more or less arbitrarily and, once chosen, typically remains fixed.
